About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Burwash?
Stonegate station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van come to Burwash?
Yes, we do. Burwash is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a staff lunch in Burwash, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
